UNIVERSITY OF LONDON KING'S COLLEGE COURSES OF STUDY IN CHEMICAL ENGINEERING The normal teaching Course covers one Session and is designed so that it may be taken in the year following the Final Sc Examination by students registered in the Faculties of Science or Engineering who have devoted their undergraduate course primarily either to Chemistry or to Engineering and who have already obtained good training in the fundamental sciences of Chemistry Physics and Mathematics Its exact nature is therefore varied in accordance with the previous training of the student The object is not to attempt the impossible task of training students equally in Chemistry and in Engineering Neither is it the aim of the Course to attempt to train students in the special knowledge and requirements of any particular chemical industry which would involve immersion in matters of technical detail more fruitfully studied after entering the industry concerned The object is to train the student in the scientific principles underlying the methods of carrying out chemical processes on the technical scale by teaching him to apply the principles of Physics Physical Chemistry and Engineering to the general methods and apparatus employed in industry For this purpose the Course which is organised by Mr Cremer Sc Chem is designed on the basis of close co-operation between the Departments of Chemistry and Engineering and members of the Staffs of these Departments deal with those aspects of the work which are more particularly of purely chemical or engineering nature Thus Chemistry students receive under conditions similar to those met with in practice the necessary training in such subjects as Engineering Drawing Commercial Testing of Materials of Construction Production and Transmission of Mechanical and Electrical Energy and the deter- mination of the Efficiencies of Boiler Installations and of the more general types of Mechanical and Electrical Plant whilst Engineering students devote an equivalent amount of time to further instruction in suitable branches of Chemistry The part of the Course common to both classes of students deals with the Physical and Reaction Treatment of Materials Fundamental operations common to large number of chemical industries are studied and investigated from the point of view of Plant Construction Energy Requirements and Efficiency of
